Judging Morality

Submitted by Robyn on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 1:50pm

We don't usually turn to Nashville based evangelical firm LifeWay Research for good news of any sort.

But LifeWay has surveyed 1000 Americans and found that nearly 60% do not believe that it is morally wrong for someone to identify with a gender different than the one usually associated with the one assigned at birth. And the majority do not believe that it is morally wrong to change one's body to match one's gender identity by taking hormones or having surgery.

A majority of Americans reject the view of a creator giving them a gender that shouldn’t be changed.

--Scott McConnell, LifeWay Executive Director

Really interesting chess going on. In video below Claudia Stauber gives a very interesting analysis of Bernie's and Jill's recent moves. Take a look at Jill's events page. Vermont is a great place to vacation but the timing here is just a little suspicious.

An architectural approach to the problem

Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 1:59pm

New York architect Esther Sperber has been thinking about he problem. The solution she has arrived at is architectural in nature: Bathrooms By Size

Sperber suggests that labeling restrooms by size, as opposed to gender, would eliminate the arguments favoring “bathroom bills” like North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which effectively prohibit transgender people from using public facilities that correspond with the gender identity. In the clip, Sperber explains why she believes that such categorizing would not only function better for those who don’t fit into a traditional male/female gender binary, but also address other issues, like long lines at women’s restrooms.

I like to think that good architecture can solve problems,

--Sperber
